Re: your Nov. 29 article, “Is there a doctor in ‘House’: Physicians weigh in on how hit TV show diverges from the real practice of medicine�:
Whoa! What a shocker to find out that Dr. Gregory House is not typical of today's doctors! What an investigative coup by Dr. Cesar Aristeiguieta! Next, you'll be telling me that the three-hour DNA identification analysis in “CSI� is a hoax, and it actually takes many days to test DNA.
Oh no, I'm covering my ears if you spill the beans that in hospitals, unlike the one in “Grey's Anatomy,� doctors are rarely having sex during their breaks. And please don't burst my bubble by letting the cat out of the bag concerning the truth about “ER:� That is, despite what I've seen, nurses and paramedics cannot really become doctors nearly overnight. Come on! What's next?
At least we have “Bones,� the genius at the Jeffersonian, whose team uses the virtual reality machine to nab perpetrators. That is true, isn't it?
